One of my Sims' portraits all of a sudden got replaced by this weird upside
down picture of a nerdy guy/ an evil-looking lady! Why?!
Congratulations! You have just been infected with UDHS! Upside Down Head
Syndrome is a weird bug that happens when one of your sims' character files
gets corrupted. His or her portrait suddenly gets switched with one of
the pictures you just mentioned. This bug has been around forever, and
there is no official Maxis patch for it. MillenniumSims.com
(browse to: Programs-->The Cure!) actually has a cure for it, but you'll
have to download Iff Pencil (available at the site) so you can play around
with manually editing character files to get rid of the problem.
One warning, though-- I find that the MillenniumSims cure doesn't seem
viable once you get past "Hot Date" in your EPs. For some reason, the
garbled text you need to delete in the character file no longer appears
once you get Hot Date. If that's the case with you, an alternative solution
is to delete the corrupted character, then go into the Export folder and
reimport him or her back into your neighborhood. A pain the butt, I know
(you lose your relationships), but it's better than nothing!
